Uspenje Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Ovčar Banja, Serbia.
The monastery complex includes a church with narrow rectangular windows and additional structures positioned on an elevated location overlooking the Ovčar-Kablar gorge.
Turkish documents from 1536 first mentioned the monastery, while Vuk Karadžić recorded the remains of a defensive tower at the site during his 1820 visit.
The monastery celebrates the feast of the Dormition of the Mother of God on August 28, drawing Orthodox believers for religious ceremonies and gatherings.
The monastery resumed regular religious services in 2005 following extensive restorations, and visitors must follow Orthodox customs regarding dress and behavior.
The monastery incorporates the remains of an ancient tower that served as a common bell tower for multiple monasteries in the Ovčar-Kablar gorge.
